Weakness

CWE-625: Permissive Regular Expression

The product uses a regular expression that does not sufficiently restrict the set of allowed values.

How to prevent it
  • Implementation: When applicable, ensure that the regular expression marks beginning and ending string patterns, such as "/^string$/" for Perl.
